It comes down to personal choice mainly. Stroustrup's C++ Programming
language is probably a bit hard for the beginner, but you'll want it =
later
on. Bruce Eckel does some good books: http://www.mindview.net/.

Wrox press do a book on C for GCC and linux:
http://www.wrox.com/Books/1861002971.htm. May help.

But GCC (using G++) is only the tool, the c++ will be the same =
regardless of
compiler. If you're a beginner and using Windows Visual C++ is very
friendly. Or as mentioned kdevelop is very nice in linux.

Borland also have kylix: http://www.borland.com/kylix/. This apparantly =
also
allows C++ developemnt in a very nice ide.

As far as learning c++ is concerned though just use any book you feel =
like
and conult the MAN pages if you are using anything specific to GCC.

You'll find copies of the C99 and C++ final ansi/iso/iec standards here.
These are final not drafts.
